Camacho, Director, fight coordinator, producer ("Point Doom", "The Power Within",

"We can hire Martial Artists, but they don't fight for the screen, necessarily. They
might be the best kickers and punchers you know, but they have to fight in a certain
way for the camera to make the action on film look good. That is what we teach."

film stars was great."

appeared on "Kids News Network" twice and was chosen to appear on a new martial arts
TV show)
"I used the skills I had learned at the camp when I auditioned for a martial arts
film. They were very impressed. At first I was cast as a martial artist/stuntman,
but later I moved up to a principal character with lines. For anyone who wants to
make it in martial arts films, I'd be the first one to tell them to invest their
money in your ACTION FILM ACADEMY."
